ABSTRACT:
When a via-hole26and an interconnection trench32are formed in an interconnection films16, 18by using as a mask a hard mask20covering the region except via-hole forming region, and a hard mask22covering the region except an interconnection trench forming region, the hard mask20is isotropically etched to expose the upper surface of the inter-layer insulating film18at a periphery of the via-hole forming region and leave the hard mask20in the interconnection trench forming region except the periphery, and then the hard mask20and the insulating films18, 16are anisotropically etched, whereby the via-hole26having increased-width portion34at the upper part, and the interconnection trench32connected to the via-hole26at the increased-width portions26are formed.
